4 PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL MASTER S STUDIES DEGREE IN JUSTICE LEADERSHIP WITH VIETNAM College of Behavioral & Social Sciences University of Maryland, College Park Proposed Initiation Date Fall 2010 I. Overview and Rationale A. Briefly describe the nature of the proposed program and explain why the institution should offer it. As Vietnam has been moving towards a more open policy towards the west, due largely to their current economic development, they are beginning to see a real need to have not only well trained leaders, but also well educated ones; this is especially true for the police officers who maintain the security of the country. Currently, the Vietnam People s Police Academy (PPA) is the only university to educate and train police officers throughout the entire country. The PPA offers Bachelor s as well as MA and Ph.D. degree programs. The university has been consistently ranked among the top 10 universities available for higher education within Vietnam. The organizational structure of the PPA places it directly under the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam, indicating a strong commitment to police education and training on the part of the Vietnamese government. However, the current graduate programs offered by the PPA lack the kind of evidence-based policy and practice associated with criminal justice in the west, and particularly with the University of Maryland s Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. In addition, as police organizations have become more professionalized in Vietnam, the Vietnamese government recognizes the need for better management and leadership skills among higher ranking officials in security. The School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland has an established executive education program that emphasizes different aspects of group and organizational leadership, both in theory and practice. Courses offered by PP can be leveraged to build a degree program with strength in police training and justice leadership.

5 The Office of International and Executive Programs (OIEP) at the College of Behavioral and Social Science (BSOS) along with the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice (CCJS) and the School of Public Policy propose to work with the PPA to offer a Masters of Professional Studies in Justice Leadership. The Office of International and Executive Programs currently promotes, assists and coordinates international activities for the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences as well as other organizations within the university. Additionally, over the past 10 years, OIEP has been administering a successful multi-program effort in China, which includes a Criminal Justice Master s degree program (PMA) with Nanjing Normal University. This new graduate offering differs from the CCJS PMA degree program in that it is a career-focused degree designed for students who wish to increase their knowledge about evidence-based policing tactics generally and specifically as these strategies relate to drug enforcement. Training in Justice Leadership will also prepare students for the challenges associated with leading and managing a police department. B. How big is the program expected to be? From what other programs serving current students, or from what new populations of potential students, onsite or offsite, are you expecting to draw? Potential candidates for the program will be drawn from current students at the PPA. Students will be nominated for admission by an Entrance Committee. The final admission decisions will be made by the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Maryland, based on policies and criteria established by the University. The PPA guarantees at least 0 students per cohort who meet the University s criteria for admission. Applications for this program will be accepted from individuals who have already obtained a four year baccalaureate or equivalent degree from an accredited institution; Students must provide evidence of fluency in English in order to be admitted: Adequate English proficiency will be determined solely by the University of Maryland; Applicants must pass an interview with the Entrance Committee. II. Curriculum A. Provide a full catalog description of the proposed program, including educational objectives and any areas of concentration. 1. Degree Program Description

6 The Masters of Professional Studies (MPS) in Justice Leadership is a 0 credit (10 course) program that provides specialized training for Vietnamese students pursuing a career in policing. The program will introduce students to evidence-based policing strategies, the U.S. system of justice, and current knowledge about drug enforcement, treatment, and international/domestic interdiction. Students will learn various leadership and management approaches, in theory and practice, as they relate to different types of groups and organizations. 2. Length and Location The program length will be 18 months on a full-time basis, including 12 months of instructed courses in Vietnam (at the People s Police Academy) and 6 months for students to complete a guided research/policy project at College Park. Instruction for this program will be conducted during the winter, spring, summer I, II, and fall semesters; we hope to kickoff the proposed program during the Fall of B. List the courses (number, title, semester credit hours) that would constitute the requirements and other components of the proposed program. Provide a catalog description for any courses that will be newly developed or substantially modified for the program. 1. Courses Among the 10 courses and 0 credits offered, the University of Maryland will deliver 7 courses, and the PPA will deliver courses; each course will be comprised of credits. The Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice will teach 4 courses and the School of Public Policy will teach. The courses offered by the PPA (listed below) must be approved in order to support this program. CCJS600 Criminal Justice credits Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice Current concept of criminal justice in relationship to other concepts in the field. Historical perspective. Criminal justice and social control. Operational implications. Systemic aspects. Issues of evaluation. CCJS601 Policing credits Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice An introduction to research, theory, and applications of the causes and consequences of police behavior. Community policing, problem-solving methods, police discretion, police misconduct, police crime prevention strategies, and restorative justice. CCJS604 Policy Analysis Project credits 4

7 Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice An application of statistical and conceptual tools to criminal justice in the student's area of concentration, resulting in a paper reporting the practical training at different agencies. The topic of the independent study will be chosen through individual consultation with the instructor. CCJS680 Drugs and Crime credits Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice To study the relationship between drug use and crime. Policy concerning drug control enforcement, prosecution and sentencing. Impact of drug treatment in criminal justice settings, drug courts, drug-testing strategies and surveillance of former drug abusers in the community PUAF692 Leadership credits School of Public Policy Emphasizes how understanding what s locked in your head and locked into the heads of others has profound impact on how you successfully lead. Through instructor and student-led discussion, as well as reading, research, experiential events, outside speakers, and short lectures, this course offers students opportunities to not simply learn leadership theory but to practice leadership techniques on the job. PUAF699 Leadership in groups and Organizations credits School of Public Policy Emphasizes how understanding group and organizational life is a critical leadership competency. Through discussion, as well as reading, research, experiential events, and short lectures, this course offers opportunities to learn about and understand group dynamics associated with the exercise of leadership and authority in group, inter-group, and organizational settings. PUAF711 Public Management & Leadership School of Public Policy credits To help equip students with knowledge of management and leadership concepts essential to performing successfully and responsibly in public organizations. We will begin with discussion on the nature of public administration and move to organization theory, organizational structure, and administrative reform and decision-making mechanisms. We will also examine the people side of government organizations as well as management and leadership roles within organizations. Many case studies are examined in depth to provide real life context for the course content. The course is designed to go beyond a conceptual framework of public management and leadership by helping students develop the knowledge, insights and skills necessary to manage and to lead public organizations. 5

8 *Criminal Justice in Vietnam credits Vietnam People s Police Academy This course provides students basic knowledge on crimes and criminal justice in Vietnam. Issues that will be focus on are the present situation of crimes in Vietnam, causes and conditions of criminal activities, forecasting the crime trends and crime prevention in Vietnam. Moreover, this course also provides a comprehensive overview of the Criminal Justice system in Vietnam and relations among authorities. *Criminal Procedure credits Vietnam People s Police academy This course deals with contents related to criminal procedures in Vietnam and includes: commencing criminal proceeding, investigation, prosecution and law enforcement, as well as the relationship between authorities. Based on these knowledge areas, students can then apply the practical activities to enhance work effectiveness. *Comparative International Law credits Vietnam People s Police academy This course focuses on international legal regulations related to criminal justice assistance, criminal extradition and prisoner exchanges. Based on these knowledge areas, students can make comparisons between both Vietnamese Law and international law on criminal justice related issues. * Courses not yet approved by VPAC 2. Teaching The course work, exams, assignments, and projects delivered by the University of Maryland will all be in English and these courses will be executed via face-to-face instruction in an intensive format. The University of Maryland is building an E- learning database for this program through which students will have access to documentation, communications with professors and performance and assessment tasks. C. Describe any selective admissions policy or special criteria for students selecting this field of study. Admissions and Graduation As already noted, potential candidates for the program will be drawn from current students at the PPA. Students will be nominated for admission by an Entrance Committee. The final admission decisions will be made by the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Maryland, based on policies and criteria established by the University. Because the Professional Master s degree in Justice Leadership will be awarded by the University of Maryland, the students admitted to the program are, in 6
